Safety First

Playing the drums can be dangerous -- practice safe drumming!  Although, my favorite is the megaphone stuffed into his waistband and the stickers :-)
Yesterday on the way home he said :: "Look at the full moon, Mommy! It's a circle.  Can we play hockey with it?"  Love him and his imagination! He must miss hockey as much as I do this season.

Thanksgiving 2012

James loved the fire pit at GG and Pops' house when it got dark after dinner! Aunt Cassie enjoyed her some James time :-)

I didn't want to take Logan out because he was a bit under the weather, so Gma Sharon (Brian's mom) played with him for a few minutes while I checked it all out.

 

Logan thought he was hysterical sitting in the booster when it wasn't attached to a chair. He chilled there for a good 20 minutes before getting antsy. We had a great trip and really enjoyed the extended time with family since we don't see them as often as we'd like to see them.

Welcome to Toddlers, Lowgie!

Uncle John and Jess picked this awesome art board up for Logan to use on our trip for Thanksgiving (it's also great to keep him busy during James' swim lesson, haha). He is transitioning nicely to the Toddler Room at school - our baby is such a big boy! He loves to clap along with the morning song, played the drums in his first band yesterday during Music class, is walking the majority of the time, is using the signs for "more" and "milk" consistently and is eating lots (which amazes his teacher because James was the opposite end of the spectrum). I love this age but they grow and learn so much so quickly, I can barely keep up!

A Boy and His Books

Logan really loves his books! He cried when I moved them so he would be within eye sight as I was switching in his 18 month clothes :( but was happy again looking through all the pictures of animals. He climbs up his teacher's laps to point at the pictures during story time :)

Thumbtack Art

Morning art time :: thumbtacks are a) pretty and b) stick easily into a pumpkin.  Mommy made the "M" for some fall decoration.  James was extremely focused while bedazzling his silly pumpkin face (looks kind of like pumpkin chicken pox, haha). Logan was banished from sharp-object-art time (but was really good at finding the ones we dropped on the floor).  He's been so silly lately and sticks his tongue out all the time :)

Outlined

Playground art - James thought he was so funny with his leg out t the side.

Breakfast Time!

James insisted that he ate breakfast at the counter with everything properly on his homemade placemat....AND that Logan ate next him :)

Last Day of Summer Break

Last day of Mommy's summer break :-( I picked James up from school early and we met up with Gma Chele and the Wehrle's at Pirates Cove for some amusement park fun!

ARRRR! Ahoy there, Matey!


By far, his favorite "ride" was the hand-cycle trains -- he went around and waited in line 4 times for them!

Abby, Bella and James



Last ride -- what a fun afternoon!
